Ode á la Bièvre was made by Louise Bourgeois in 2002 as an embroidered book from fragments of cloth. In the book, she reminisces, through images and text, about the impact the river had on her.

Her family moved next to the Bièvre in the suburbs of Paris when she was 8 years old (1919). Years later, Bourgeois was to go back to that house with her own family only to find the river to no longer exist, "only the trees that my father had planted along its edge remained as a witness."

Hand sewn cotton accordion pleated leporello book, with screen printing, in cloth box with colophon. Published by Zucker Art Books, NY. Edition of 8 variants, with 2 AP. Each copy is signed and numbered. Each book is handmade from repurposed textiles the artist found in Mexico City. Camil’s interventions include cutting shapes common in making of clothes such as sleeves, collars, torsos, and recombining them in a colorful array, hand sewn into a double sided sequence. She designed small buttonholes in between the panels so the work can be hung as a banner as well, choosing either side for display. This sort of interaction between the work and the viewer is a key element throughout Camil’s oeuvre, which includes works to be worn or walked on.

De Vries liked to strip things away to the bone, to achieve almost total negation by using whiteness in the work, with no visible typography, thus achieving a sort of presence in absence.

This unique book arises from the artist’s fascination with the Baroque and with the notion of excess and accompanying ruin. She was drawn to the photographs of the Château de Groussay in France, once owned by the bon vivant and aesthete Carlos de Beistegui. Images of objects and interiors of the château are cut and manipulated by the artist, then collaged onto pages of a found object, a wallpaper sample book juxtaposing the opulence of the interiors with 1960s kitsch.

Unique. Tall quarto. This original maquette, with dedication to Tatsumi Hijikata, of "Embrace" by Eikoh Hosoe with 84 silver gelatin prints on agfa gevaert lightweight proofing paper. The maquette follows the exact trajectory of the finished book. The first 11 pages of bibliographical information are painstakingly recorded in Hosoe's hand, and several loose signatures from the book are also included with ten pages that might have been preproduction examples of the book's extraordinary charcoal gravure printing; another six pages of the Japanese text from the book are loosely laid in, two of which are heavily amended in red pencil, presumably by Hosoe. A fascinating look into the design process of an exceptionally conceived photobook. One small nick to the edge of the front board, some signs of overall handling expected from a working model, overall, near fine with Japanese title and author information printed and pasted on the boards, additional ephemera near fine.

Four thick mirrored glass panes serve as ‘pages’ of the book. The exterior cover of the book is toned in black, with the title screenprinted in white on front cover. Bound with black tape spine. Published in a proposed edition of 100 copies, signed by Megert in silver marker pen on the front cover.

Mirror works comprise the fundamental pictorial element in Christian Megert’s oeuvre since the late 1950s. Megert uses mirrors as reflectors of light and movement in the manner of Zero art; they dissect space and give way to monochrome worlds of colour. In the Glasbuch, with its pages composed of mirrored glass, Megert even goes a step further: he mirrors the mirrors in his compositions, thus enclosing the viewer in the reflecting mirrors and releasing him into a seemingly infinite space. In this way, Megert creates countless multiplying possibilities of new pictorial spaces and realities, without beginning and end - a theory the artist first posited in his manifest 'Ein neuer Raum' (1961), which proclaimed a passable room without borders made possible through the mirror.

Artist's book with 16 electrostatic "portraits" of the artist's friends and acquantances. These "portraits" were created by gathering random personal effects of the subject, usually what they had in their pockets at the time, and then essentially taking a high end photocopy of these pieces, electrostatically. The images were then reproduced on canvas and bound between thick rubber sheets by the artist. Housed in the rare cardboard slipcase, also made by the artist. Edition #16 of 25 copies, all signed and numbered. Provenance of the publisher, Hans Jorg Mayer.

Title page plus two printed text pages; "for Diter Rot without whom etc." and "IN January 1968 a new person and a new machine appeared at Watford. Both worked badly(well). I learned some new words: beauties, refreshing, verfügbarkeit, and was advised not to worry. This book is the result of these new aquaintances. PS "

Handmade book with 50 color printed sheets from the rotaprint press, back then a newly invented machine, that was bought by an art school in London in 1968.

He also made a project with Dieter Roth with this rotapress.

This publication inaugurates a practice that the artist continued in years to come: the artist's book as consequence or the continuation of the exhibition itself. For his second exhibition, in the work “L’ambiente buio” (The Dark Environment), shown at the Centro di Documentazione Visiva, Piacenza, Italy in 1968, Vaccari engaged the viewers’ experience of darkness. He extended the experience through this small book utilizing blank black foil sheets as a tactile recollection for the viewer.

In the years when Veronesi realized this work, he impose to a geometric abstraction that sick to transfer the concepts of musical language to rhythm and harmony in the pictorial field. For abstract artists, reference to music is fundamental from Kandinsky, and in this work one can see the use of the music process and of the "convection theme": the choice of a proposition or fragment that is developed through minimal variations and different provisions. In “14 variations” the pictorial theme is made up of some shapes that simply move, creating a new work each time, in the same way that music moves into new compositions by moving small musical cells.
